New LibGuides Search Functionality
- In-Context Snippets – Search results show snippets of the page where the search term appears.
- Search Focus on Page vs. Guide – This helps patrons land on the correct page based on their search term rather than guessing what is the most relevant page within the guide based on the search.
- Faster Guide Edit Indexing – Guide changes are included in the search index within 5 minutes (we are working on getting this down to 1 minute or less).
- Search within Guides – Restrict your search to individual guides.
- Search within LibGuides CMS Groups – Search content within groups, with proper access permissions (e.g. internal groups only for logged-in users, etc.).
- Separate Search Indexes for Local vs. Community – Regardless of what your community-indexing setting is, your local LibGuides search will always work and local content will always be indexed for local searching within your own system.
In the next few months, we’ll unveil document indexing so any uploaded documents in the “Documents & Files” asset type will be indexed for searching.
